Armed with a whiteboard and pen, I trawled around my University searching for a selection of first years to tell me their favourite thing about university. Here are a few of my favourites...

On the whole, the responses varied. A large percentage of those I asked decided on something to do with the social aspect of University. Socialising, making friends, going out… these things have always been associated with the University lifestyle, and for a very good reason. Everybody loves their degree (or else they would have left it) but education is nothing new to us – a University environment is.

Every single person I asked said to me: “I can’t think of just one thing I like the most.”

This is exactly the point. University has so many positives and it’s ridiculously hard to pin-point your favourite. Which leads us to my much-loved aspect: “A new life.” University is completely different to anything I’ve ever done in my entire life. I’m living 2 hours away from home, with people I had never met before, doing a course that is totally new to me.

It’s brilliant.

University is the best decision I’ve ever made, and with everything from “free pizza” to total independence, you’ll be spoilt for choice when trying to decide on the thing you like most, when teh time comes.
